LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar voted to fund and arm ICE, stayed silent through months of brutal enforcement, and now, 47 days before an election, suddenly says Trump's immigration crackdown has "gone too far." I break down why her convenient conscience won't save her from her own record.

When the White House opens its doors to the press, it must comply with the First Amendment. The president is as free as any other person to criticize media coverage. But he can’t ban outlets from the White House just because he doesn’t like their reporting or commentary. Press credentials aren’t a reward for loyalty to the government. A free, even adversarial, press is a sign of our country’s strength. The public deserves to hear about its government from independent voices, not just its leader’s loyalists and allies.
After illegally bulldozing half of the White House, Trump bans media that won’t lie for him from the other half.
Every self-respecting media entity in America should boycott what’s left of the White House if he keeps violating press freedom.
The entire White House press pool should protest Trump’s decision to kick out certain reporters by refusing — in solidarity — to leave the building tonight.
It’s the People’s house, not his. We have a right to know what’s going on there.
I know this won’t happen, but the entire WH press corp should walk out. Trump craves attention and is obsessed with his coverage. Not covering his Oval Office Lie Sessions would hurt him more than just about anything.
Trump’s family is not only trying to OWN a fucking bank - but his Administration is rushing to approve it.
This is a five alarm fire. Elizabeth Warren is rushing to the Senate floor right now to make it illegal:
🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court REJECTS Department of Justice effort to restore U.S. Postal Service mail-in voting rule.
A huge victory for voting rights and free and fair elections. A defeat for Trump and his scheme to rig the elections. https://t.co/J78WAbT9s0
🚨BREAKING: Washington DC federal court BLOCKS Postal Service mail-in ballot rule. First court to prohibit USPS from taking steps to allow voluntary compliance with anti-voting rule.
A victory for ELG and our clients DSCC, DCCC, DNC, DGA and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries!

If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.
But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.
Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.
.@JamesTalarico: Tarrant County, the largest swing county in the state of Texas, is closing 92 polling locations. They’ve also suspended a million voter registrations in our state.
To anyone in Texas who is watching this — I’m urging you to check your voter registration online and make a plan to vote early.
Yes, this voter suppression is powerful, but it is nothing compared to people power. If we all stand up and make our voices heard, we will win this race.
